Often a technical realistic schedule is derived and presented, but the business side deems the project cost is too high and asks the schedule to be "optimized." The optimistic scenarios of the schedule is adapted and revised. Of course reality sets in when the project goes forward and it ends up taking as much time as predicted.

That's often what I see. An estimate roadmap is presented, management expresses that it wants it sooner, the roadmap is "shuffled" and "optimized", it is approved, yet reality still sets in during development :-)
